5-HTP 50 mg

Clinical studies have shown that 5-HTP increases the presence of serotonin in the brain. Supports a good mood, regulation of the appetite and a healthy sleep.

Source Naturals 5-HTP is naturally derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. *

Usage

Take 1 to 2 capsules once or twice daily with a glass of water or fruit juice, preferably on an empty stomach. If so desired, take 30 to 60 before going to sleep.

Ingredients

5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia) 50 mg, microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin (capsule), modified cellulose gum, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate.

Warning

Excess 5-HTP, especially when administered with vitamin B6, causes the liver to metabolize 5-HTP into serotonin, which may result in heart valve damage or disease (cardiac fibrosis). When combined with an MAOi or SSRI, 5-HTP can cause acute serotonin syndrome.
